Product Overview
Overview
Platform VM Orchestrator (VMO) v3 is an automated, policy-driven, virtual environment manager that supports Citrix’s XenServer v4 to deliver web-based virtual machine lifecycle management, multi-host dynamic resource management (DRM), resource-aware high availability (HA), and self-service virtual machine management. Built on Platform's proven grid technology, VMO is the only virtual machine management solution that meets the scale and dynamic computing requirements of the technical datacenter. The combination of Citrix’s open, high performance hypervisor with Platform’s proven, scalable resource management technology has provided the market with the most cost effective, integrated, enterprise-class virtualization infrastructure solution.
Key Features
Multi-Host Dynamic Resource Management (DRM)
Create policies; optimize your virtual environment
Administrators no longer have to spend hours monitoring virtual
machines and hosts to manage the tedious process of virtual machine
placement and load balancing across multiple hosts. Platform VMO’s DRM
monitors virtual machine and host loads to dynamically allocate
resources, across multiple hosts, and ensure optimal utilization. DRM
simplifies administration, minimizes human error and reduces
operational costs.
Resource Aware High Availability (HA)
Mitigate risk; minimize cost
With Platform VMO, you need not go to the expense of redundant infrastructure. Rather, you can leverage Platform VMO's Resource Aware HA and provide a single additional server to protect all of the virtual machines running on a number of servers. When one server fails the virtual machines running on that server are optimally placed and restarted on other servers. Administrators can achieve very high uptime and avoid the exorbitant cost of redundant infrastructure. Furthermore, Platform VMO implements Platform’s proven management failover technology to ensure management of the virtual environment is always available.
Accessibility from Anywhere
Launch a browser; manage your environment
Administrators and authorized users can access their virtual environment via a web console from the office, home or on the road - anywhere. There is no client to install and no operating system dependence. Administrators can manage all virtual environments across the enterprise from a single browser; and easily delegate control to end users.
Self-service Virtual Machine Management
Give users more control; maintain control over resources
Whether it’s provisioning a test environment for a developer or a demo environment for a sales engineer, end users can now manage their own virtual machines for their projects. With Platform VMO Self-Service, administrators can set up a controlled VM self-service environment and free themselves from routine tasks of VM creation and the daily arbitration of resources for competing projects. VM Self-Service dramatically reduces administration in project intensive environments, improves machine turn around times and gives users more control.
Easy, Fast and Flexible Installation
Install VMO on your prefered operating system
Platform VMO can be installed on either Windows or Linux operating systems. Simply download and install on the operating system of your choice.
